Winsomnia YouTube

Mephisto Mori/ February 20, 2015/ Video Games/ 0 comments

After two years of panels with great reception and more than a few friends making polite suggestions, I’ve finally got a YouTube Channel up for Winsomnia. It was actually Twitch streaming that prompted me to do it but plenty of people have suggested that I do a Podcast so what the hell? I’ll be doing a weekly (more likely monthly)

AMKE Update

Mephisto Mori/ February 11, 2015/ Video Games/ 0 comments

As you can imagine there’s a lot of moving parts going into AMKE this year. I am but one cog in the greater machine. Returning panelist, and LOL Tournament… guy (one of two dedicated staff for the event, with a couple dozen support staff). Anyway, been really busy the last couple weeks getting the proverbial ducks in a row. I

Afro Samurai the Video Game

Mephisto Mori/ February 4, 2015/ Video Games/ 0 comments

Afro Samurai the video game was a good game by any measure. Beyond that it had a more interesting story and told it better than the source material. How many things converted from one medium to another can boast that? There aren’t many. Usually the book is better than the movie based on it. I’m still waiting for video game movie

Writer’s Plight

Mephisto Mori/ January 30, 2015/ Video Games/ 0 comments

I have a problem. Several actually, but the one I’m talking about here is my inability to focus on more than one thing at the same time. Somewhere out there, there’s a person that can perform a “day job,” paint a picture, maintain a blog, and run a Twitch channel. I am incapable of that. If I focus on working

Anime Milwaukee 2015 is just over two weeks away. I’m both more panicked and more excited right now than I was this time last year. There’s more on my plate this time around which may be a factor. First things first: It’s happening. AMKE’s first ever League of Legends Tournament. We’ve got shout casters lined up and everything. I even

Mystery Solved: A Mario Timeline

Mephisto Mori/ January 26, 2015/ Video Games/ 0 comments

YouTube user Scropigator Films put together a timeline for Mario. It’s pretty well done and must’ve taken a lot of work. Clearly Nintendo doesn’t care about the continuity or storytelling of their flagship series. There isn’t really anything wrong with that. The focus is mindless fun and making money through branding. It’s nice to know that there are fans out

Anime Milwaukee’s First League of Legends Tournament

Mephisto Mori/ January 15, 2015/ Video Games/ 0 comments

I’ve avoided the subject of League of Legends on this blog quite deliberately. But shameless self-promotion comes before morality. My friends from World9Gaming (of AGDQ2015 fame) host a mean video game room. (Seriously, if you’re on a convention board, or thinking of starting one they’re the finest in the Midwest). In addition to dozens to a hundred plus consoles classic to
